Walkers schoolhouse, in the Mt.
Nernon district, was destroyed by
fire Friday morning before day. The
fire originated in the kitchen aud is
surrounded by my stery, as there had
been no fire in the room since noon
the day before. When the family
awoke the house was in flames and
nothing except two feather beds was
gotten out. Mr.. Gambill lost every
thing in the way OF clothing, even TO
his shoes. His family consists of two
children and they were also left with
out change of clothing. The house
was log building, two stories high
with an ell attached. The loss is
from $500 to $500, with no insurance.
Mr.. Gambill is poor man and needs
aid as well as sympathy.

Jessie Whitaker were married at the

bride lived about two miles above
Sacramento, the groom near Bremen,

The bride was formerly student
in Bethel Female College, of this city,
and was young lady of very attrac-

Messrs. John S. TONNES & Co.,
have had the good fortune to secure
the services OF Mr.. Tom. d. Armis-
tead, formerly of the firm of j. II.
ArmisteRd & Co., of Hopkinsville, Ky.
AS chemist aud prescriptonist Mr..
Armistead excels the average drug
gist by large majority, having car
ried of the highest honors from the
Chicago College ofPharmacy. He is
a young man of high moral standing,
courteous and polite to all, and as a
druggist has no superior in the State.
Mr.. TONNES is to be congratulated in
securing such an assistant, and we
predict nothing but success to this
enlerprising firm.-Owensboro ln-

The Evansville Commercial Col
lege still continues 10 increase in pop
ularity, which is due In large meas
ure to the thorough training it gives
its pupils. There is nothing that
will tend TO the upbuilding ofan in-
stitution of this character so much as
a competent scholar, who will be
lasting advertisement. The princi-
pal informs us that his prospects this
fall were never more fattering, and
we are truly glad TO see such a
worthy training business school en-
joying an era of prosperity. Should
any young gentleman desire to at
tend this school he can apply TO
US for a scholarship.

made their first appearance in the
city last night in the "Mikado" Opera
to fair house. To night the "Mas-
cotte"will be given by same company
for the first time, and as it is spark
ling comic opera, and presented by
artists OF superior fitness, an increased
house should greet the company. The
press wherever they have appeared
has been unusually lavish in praising
the company. Messrs. Dixon & Pep
per, tho managers, are both artists
